Allah has many characterists often called the "Ninetynine Names of Allah": "The All-Loving (Al Wadud); The Most-Kind; The Most-Just; The Most-Forgiving; The Most Merciful; The Most Compassionate; The All-Patient; The One Who Guides."

From these most excellent qualities we immediately understand, we as Muslims, should exhibit more of these attributes in our own behavior, as did the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

"Love for the sake of Allah & to Hate for the Sake of Allah" is well known in Islam.

However, hatred just for the sake of hating is very dangerous, and could eventually destroy the one doing it.

Don't do it.

Consider what happened to Muhammad, peace be upon him, when he made the journey to At-Taif, a city in the Mekkah area of Arabia.

He was not recevied by the leaders there (against their custom of receiving all visitors for three days and nights, without asking a single question).

They even turned street urchinsagainst him and his companion, throwing rocks & stones at them. His blood filled his sandals. Now, consider what happened next.

The Arch-Angel (Ruh Qadus or Holy Spirit), Gabriel comes to him and tells him Allah has angels in place to bring down the mountaions of At-Taif on them.

Just say the word, and Allah will Command destruction for these disbelieving folks.

Did he do it? What would you do? Muhammad, peace be upon, raised his hands and made dua (supplication) FOR them, not AGAINST them.

He prayed asking Allah for them to be guided to worship Allah, Alone without partners and for some of them to spread true Islam.
